India`s last practice session before the second Test [they are not training today] finished with a fitness test for Ravindra Jadeja. Team India`s physio Nitin Patel and the conditioning coach Nick Webb asked Jadeja to sprint twos and threes down the pitch and monitored the timing. Jadeja didn`t seem hampered by the hamstring injury and within a couple of runs, all three members left the practice nets quietly satisfied.
Jadeja will come into the playing XI and could bat as high as No. 6. Stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane is a fan of having a fifth bowling option and Jadeja`s batting has been on the rise in the last couple of years.
